Pharmacies jump on board to stop Zogenix

Well, this is a fine pickle! Pharmacies don't want to fill Zohydro and are trying to create roadblocks for prescribers with extra paperwork. What next?

 

which ones? pharmacies make a living selling drugs. doubt anyone is not supporting it.

 

It is happening in the big chain pharmacies in my territory.

 

Only CVS is doing it, and there are signs of policy changing already. Pharmacies make very little on name brand pharmaceuticals. A bottle of generic 1000 hydrocodone/APAP 10/325 costs CVS about $13. Do the math, they would lose big money if people switched from the #1 prescribed medicine in the US to a name brand with very slim profit margins.

 

no not just CVS... Rite Aid as well...they are causing the biggest issue

 

all pain drugs are under scrutiny… restrictions, not just zohydro. it's against the entire industry.
